Coming Home

People throw sticks at plastic houses,

but they don’t break 

because they’re not real.

Yet I feel an awakening stirring in my bones.

A coming home...

To the home of homes.

This is how I felt when I walked away from my abusive family. We are often brainwashed into believing that you can never forsake family, so we try to ignore the constant beating down that they bring to one's spirit. This could be any situation, not just family, where the negativity wears us down (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you for your review! Yes, abuse does change people and not for the better.

If you have struggled to feel 'at home' in your life and that feeling changes, that is worth celebrating. We all need a safe haven to live and flourish.

but the real houses are not plastic...they are very real...as real as there is.
the second stanza is just magnificent in its all at once simplicity and complexity.
